What is Pathways to a Praying Church?
Experience a concert of prayerFollowing teaching on the importance of praying together and an opportunity to share together in small groups, participants will experience a unique model of corporate prayer. A concert of prayer combines seasons of worship with seasons of directed prayer.
How the gifts of the Holy Spirit enhance praying together
Sound biblical teaching from a Wesleyan perspective will help participants understand and use the gifts of the Holy Spirit effectively in corporate prayer. Emphasis is also given to praying for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Tools for corporate prayer
Your church chooses 4 tools for presentation from the curriculum. Each tool includes sound biblical teaching, personal testimony, and a prayer experience to allow participants to pray together. More than teaching, this unit enables participants to encounter God.
Learn how to minister healing to body, soul and spirit
Pathways to a Praying Church will enable your church to begin or strengthen an intentional healing ministry. We share both the importance of ministering to the whole person and practical guidelines for training prayer teams for ministry.
Description of the Seminar
“Pathways to a Praying Church” is a weekend seminar designed to encourage God’s people to pray together corporately. The seminar challenges and encourages churches to become houses of prayer and equips people with the tools for a consistent, powerful prayer life.
Recognizing that we learn by both hearing and doing, the curriculum is written to include a variety of activities that are practical applications of the teachings on prayer. Team members will share not only their victories, but also times when they have struggled to walk in intimacy with God through prayer. More than just a teaching tool, this seminar is an opportunity for all to encounter the Living God!
Expense to the Church
There is a $250 honorarium for the coordinator and a $150 honorarium for the worship leader. During the weekend the church agrees to take up a love offering or to make a contribution to ARM for future Pathway to a Praying Church Seminar. Churches are further encouraged to make ARM a part of the church's annual mission budget..
Each participant’s manual retails for $15.00. ARM provides them to the host church for $12 per participant. Many churches charge a registration fee of $15-20 to help defray expenses. Others prefer to fund the event from the church budget.

Wonderful creative ways to pray corporately
God brought peace and rest through the Concert of Prayer
I heard my shy husband pray out loud for the first time in 33 years of married life.
Totally met my expectations. Holy Spirit inspired. Everyone has a story. We were challenged by His word!
I appreciated how everything is substantiated with scripture.
It really helped with my confidence and boosted my faith, by giving me a better understanding of the purpose and power of the Holy Spirit.
It is an awesome guide to every aspect of prayer that I will refer to many times in the future.
